A magistrate stationed at the Thika Law Courts has alleged that court operations have stalled after the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) confiscated her mobile phone.
Through her lawyers, Dunstan Omari and Shadrack Wambui, Chief Magistrate Stella Atambo has moved to court to compel the anti-graft commission to return the mobile phone and ensure swift court proceedings.
Atambo argues that the seizure of her phone has disrupted essential functions at the Thika Law Courts.
According to her lawyers' application, critical judicial processes, including contractor payments, case-related transactions, and refunds, have stalled, causing an increasing backlog.
